Abstract: A method for producing glycoconjugate, which comprises the steps of:
   (i) binding a sugar residue to the side chain of a water-soluble polymer via a linker
having a selectively cleavable linkage to give a primer, and bringing said primer
into contact with an immobilized glycosyltransferase in the presence of a sugar
nucleotide, to transfer a sugar residue of said sugar nucleotide to the sugar
residue of said primer,   (ii) elongating a sugar chain by transfer of plural sugar residues by repeating the
step (i) at least once,   (iii) removing, where necessary, a by-produced nucleotide or an unreacted sugar
nucleotide, and   (iv) repeating the steps (i)-(iii) where necessary and releasing the glycoconjugate by
selectively cleaving the cleavable linkage in the linker, from the above-mentioned
primer connecting the sugar chain elongated by the transfer of plural sugar
residues,  
and a method for producing a sphingoglycolipid.

Abstract: A card connector for electrically coupling a PC
card to an electrical device is provided. The card
connector comprises a header section having a plurality of
terminal pins disposed within the header section. A first
and second elongated arm section are integrally coupled with
the header section. Each one of the arms extend from a
first end to a second end thereby forming a slot which is
adapted to receive the PC card and guide the PC card into
electrical contact with the terminal pins. A guide housing
is securely disposed over said first arm. A push-rod is
slidably mounted within the guide housing and adapted to
move from a first position to a second position. A post is
disposed within the guide housing. A swing arm is pivotally
mounted on the push-rod and is adapted to engage and
disengage with the post as the push-rod moves from the first
position to the second position. A first spring is in
communication with said swing arm. A second spring is
biasingly disposed of within the guide housing in
communication with the first spring. A rod is slidably
mounted within the guide housing in communication with the
push-rod. A link is movably coupled with the header in
movable communication with the rod. The link is adapted to
engage the PC card. The push-rod protrudes away from the
first arm at the first position and is relatively flush with
the first arm at the second position.

Abstract: The specification describes photonic integrated
circuit structures, and methods for making structures in
which the active and passive waveguides are coplanar, and
further in which all the layers of both the active and
passive device regions are essentially coplanar, resulting
in a planar surface and design flexibility for contact pad
and metallization placement. The fabrication strategy
eliminates the deep etch used in conventional processing
to form laser devices, and thereby eliminates the step
between the laser mesa and the passive waveguide sections.

Abstract: Apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for digitally processing an encrypted data stream scrambled, for example, according to content scrambling system (CSS) technology. This digital processing insures against communication of clear data within the computer system from a central processing unit (CPU) to any accessible structure, such as memory or a system bus. Descrambling of the (CSS) scrambled data stream occurs within a module executing on the CPU, which is followed by re-encryption of the data prior to transfer from the CPU. By so processing the data, integrity of copyrighted material is maintained, while allowing for software descrambling of the CSS encrypted data stream. Various techniques for establishing the encryption/decryption algorithm pair employed are described. Decryption of the re-encrypted data can occur at a receiving software module and/or a receiving hardware device, such as a decoder.

Abstract: A female electrical connector (140) adapted to be lowered
down a well on an electrical cable for remote connection to
a down hole male connector. The connector includes a
housing (228) with an attachment for securing the female
electrical connector to the cable, a female electrical
contact (220) within the housing, and an insulator (226) disposed
between the housing and the female electrical contact. The
female electrical contact is in electrical communication
with the cable and includes a circumferential ring defining
a central axis, and a cantilever finger extending generally
axially from the ring. The finger has a first portion
extending generally radially inward from the ring, and a
second portion extending generally radially outward from the
first portion to an axially-directed, distal end. The first
and second portions of the finger define therebetween a
radially innermost contact surface. The insulator includes
an outer shell between the circumferential ring of the
female electrical contact and the inner bore of the housing,
and an inner lip axially overlapping the distal end of the
cantilever finger. The inner lip shields the finger end
against engagement with the male connector moving within the
female connector. Some embodiments have a wiper seal (224)
arranged to wipe debris from the male connector as it enters
the housing. Preferred materials and methods of use are
disclosed.

jedes Brennerstarts. Die Leuchtdioden weisen unterschiedliche
Farben auf, sodass die Güte der Verbrennung und
der Zustand des Heizkessels sofort beurteilt werden können.
Bei Uberschreitung eines zulässigen Grenzwertes der Abgastemperatur

Abstract: A compressor includes swash plate (22), which is
tiltably supported by a drive shaft (6). The displacement
of the compressor changes in accordance with the inclination
angle of the swash plate (22). The minimum inclination
angle (min) of the swash plate (22) is less than three to
five degrees relative to a plane perpendicular to the axis
of the drive shaft (6). The swash plate (22) can be moved
from its minimum inclination to increase its angle, despite
the small minimum inclination angle, due to a return spring
(27), which urges the swash plate (22) to increase the
inclination angle. The return spring (27) positively moves
the swash plate (22) in a direction increasing the
inclination angle.

Abstract: There is provided a method of effecting mass analysis on an ion
stream, the method comprising passing the ion stream through a first mass
resolving spectrometer, to select parent ions having a first desired mass-to-charge
ratio. The parent ions are them subject to collision-induced
dissociation (CID) to generate fragment ions, and the fragment ions and any
remaining parent ions are trapped; the CID and trapping can be carried out
together in a linear ion trap. Periodically pulses of the trapped ions are
released into a time of flight (TOF) instrument to determine the mass-to-charge
ratio of the ions. The delay between the release of the pulses and the
initiation of the push-pull pulses of the TOF instrument are adjusted to
maximize the duty cycle efficiency and hence the sensitivity for a selected ions
with a desired mass-to-charge ratio. This technique can be used to optimize
the performance for a parent ion scan, and MRM scan or a neutral loss scan.

Abstract: Reuse of used ceramic parts that have typically been disposed of as wastes reduces
the costs of ceramic parts and lessens industrial wastes. First, used ceramic
parts are detached from machines such as automobile engines that have
ended their lives and are destined to be disposed of. Second, used ceramic parts
are selected that have cracks not more than 0.1 mm in length. Finally, the selected
used ceramic parts are mounted onto new machines of the same type as
before, as they are or after reshaped. An alternative selection method is to perform
a bending test on at least one sample from a group of detached used ceramic
parts. When the test result shows a bending-strength reduction of 50%
or less, the remaining used ceramic parts in the group are judged reusable.
